Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSarvadeveśvara (सर्वदेवेश्वर) refers to “one who is the lord of all gods” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.32 (“The seven celestial sages arrive”).—Accordingly, as the Seven Sages said to Śiva: “[...] By seeing you today we have become the most respectable sages worthy of the worship of all the worlds. We have reached the highest position. O lord of gods, by seeing you who are the lord of all gods (sarvadeveśvara) we have become worthy of great respect. There is no necessity of talking more. If any duty is assigned to us it will be a favour to us. An auspicious task befitting us, your utter slaves, shall be given to us”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
